            Bug ID: 129733
           Summary: WRITER -- SECTIONS (enhancements) / remove -- give it
                    a different name
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: jepe at cspv.hu

Description:
I'm only getting to know the 'sections' functionality, but love it, works
fairly well, and apparently, it's very well thought up...

one improvement would be to rename the 'remove' button...
cause as it is, it suggests that when pressed, the text would disappear (be
removed)... but it won't

moreover, instead of a simple rename, 
it could become a dropdown button..

like:
remove section and text
remove section




Steps to Reproduce:
1. you have a document, and another document linked into it with 'section'
functionality... -- you want to remove the text -- and you press 'remove'
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:
'remove' will "dislink" the linked document (I don't want to use 'unlink' here)
and leave the text in the body of the working document

Expected Results:
I'd expect it to remove the text from the working document, and the section,
and the linking.. altogether...







Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
there could be MORE enhanced in this functionality....

it is, I find, very good as it is...
and it's not lacking complexity either! (see the ability to link only a section
of  a text, protection, for example)

BUT...
the end goal could be to be allow the users to turn text of a document under a
heading, say, text under a H3 heading, into a linked section in an external
document...

that is, to cut out the text under a H3 heading, and paste it into a new
document (without opening it, like in the case of "File / save a copy")..
and link that section-document into the document...

the point, as I imagine, could be to be able to externalize text under a
heading (a section, so to speak), into an external document and link it is a
section...

and to dissolve this text BACK into the document...
(by "removing" the section-linking)

this "to and fro" way would be the greatest in the end...
